Teledyne 300 Sampling Modes, Inst, Records instantaneous reading, Parameter Properties, Property

exiting calibration it is desirable to take a single instantaneous reading using the INST mode. The table below summarizes the available sampling modes.

	Sampling Modes
Mode	Description
INST	Records instantaneous reading
AVG	Records average reading during reporting interval
MIN	Records minimum reading during reporting interval
MAX	Records maximum reading during reporting interval

Each parameter in this list can refer to a different (or the same) point, and can use a different (or the same) sampling mode. For instance, you could create three parameters which all measure the CO concentration for range 1 (the CONC1 parameter), but which use the MIN, AVG, and MAX sampling modes. This permits you to record not only the average concentration during the reporting interval, but the maximum excursions as well.

Like data channels, parameters also have properties which are listed in the table below.

Parameter Properties

	Property		Description		Initial	Setting Range

The table below lists the data parameters initially defined. The entries in the Name and Units columns are visible when editing and printing the data channel properties.
